RESEARCH INTERESTS
My collaborative investigations in pyroclastic volcanism, mineralogy, materials and archaeological science investigate mineral cements in young basalt at Surtsey volcano, Iceland, and ancient Roman architectural and marine concrete. We apply Roman methods of concrete production to environmentally-friendly, glass-based analog concretes. An innovative arc-fracture test measures ductility, fracture toughness and repair. Physical property measurements describe rapid consolidation of tephra in Surtsey basaltic drill cores.
